Brazilian literary movements

Brazilian literary movements reflect the country's cultural and political history. Romanticism (19th century) emphasized emotion and national identity. Modernism (early 20th century) broke traditional forms, exploring new styles and themes like urban life and identity, exemplified by figures like Mário de Andrade. Postmodernism (mid to late 20th century) questioned certainty and embraced diversity and experimentation. Literary movements often responded to social issues, reflecting Brazil’s complex identity, history, and cultural diversity. These shifts highlight evolving perspectives on reality, individualism, and Brazil’s place in the world, shaping its rich and dynamic literary landscape.
